I posted the website of the event (www.the508.com) on my first post. However a friend on mine was asking me general info about the even so here is some:

• Distance : 508 miles

• Start at: Santa Clarita on Saturday Oct 4 at 9:00am (for the relay team, solos stat at 7)
• Finish at: 29 Palms sometime before Monday at 7am. We hope to be done on Sunday evening.
• It is broken on 8 stages, i will ride stages 1, 3, 5, and 7 while Jessica is doing 2, 4, 6, and 8.
• Cities that we will pass by: Snata Clarita, California City, Trona, Furnace Creek (hence the name), Shoshone, Baker, Kelso, Amboy and 29 Palms.
  
• No stopping, no sleeping, just continuous riding :)

Well, check the website is you want more information. Our totem is the Cardinal (the bird), initially chosen because we both went to Stanford but later on we found out that Stanford cardinal is due to the color red not the bird.
